IrinaVladis [17]

ANSWER:

In a data set with a range of 55.4 to 105.4 and 400 observations.86 lies in the 49th percentile.

SOLUTION:

Given, in a data set with a range of 55.4 to 105.4 and 400 observations.

There are 176 observations below the value of 86, and we need to find the percentile for 86.

We know that, percentile formula = $\frac{\text {number of observations below the required number}}{\text {total number of observations}} \times 100$

Percentile of 86 = $\frac{176}{400} \times 100$

Since, we cancelled 400 with 100 we get 4 , hence above expression becomes,

$=\frac{176}{4}$ = 49

So, percentile of 86 = 49

Hence, 86 lies in the 49th percentile.

1.3 puzzle time why did the fraction jump into boiling water

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

The fraction jumped into boiling water because it wanted to be reduced.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a maths riddle about fractions. We often see fractions that we might feel could be reduced. So, if these kinds of fractions jumps into a boiling water, they get reduced. The riddle is rather funny though.

A school principal has to choose randomly among the six best students in each grade to be the school captain every month. For th

Viefleur [7K]

Since there are 6 students out of which one needs to be selected, the principal chose two die on which there are six numbers each numbered from 1 , 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

Since there are two dice, the total possible outcome is 36.

Hence, the probability of getting one number each is 1/36

Hence, the principal used a fair method because each result is an equally likely possible outcome.

Option B is correct.

The word geometry has eight letters. three letters are chosen at random. what is the probability that two consonants and one vow

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

0.536 is the required probability.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given the word the word "GEOMETRY"

we have to find the probability that two consonants and one vowel are chosen:

Number of consonants are: 5

Number of vowels are: 3

Hence, The required probability is: $\frac{^5C_2\cdot ^3C_1}{^8C_3}$

Using: $^nC_r=\frac{n!}{(r!)(n-r)!}$

$\frac{\frac{5!}{3!\cdot 2!}\cdot\frac{3!}{1!\cdot 2!}}{\frac{8!}{3!\cdot 5!}}$

Simplifying the above expression:

$\frac{\frac{5\cdot 4\cdot 3!}{3!\cdot 2}\cdot {\frac{3\cdot 2!}{2!}}}{\frac{8\cdot 7\cdot 6\cdot 5!}{5!\cdot 3\cdot 2}}$

Further simplification after cancelling out the common terms we get:

$\Rightarrow \frac{30}{56}=\frac{15}{28}=0.5357=0.536$

Hence, Option 1 is correct.

solve "in muddy lake, 600 fish were tagged. later, 12 out 480 fish were found tagged. about how many fish are in the lake?"

Readme [11.4K]

We estimate that 12/480=1/40 fish are tagged, so 600 is 1/40 of the total number of fish. This means that there are about 600*40=24000 fish total in the pond.
